The Brewers aren't going anywhere this year. And Greinke's pretty particular about where he wants to be. If where he wants to be is Milwaukee, couldn't they just resign him this offseason after a trade?

What's wrong? I used a misspelling, made a reference to an '80's movie, and the reference was to the wrong movie. Out of that, I got my first green.

//Was that incorect, should I not being doing that anymore?

Well when you put it that way...THIS SITE IS AWESOME!

I would assume this was greened just so there would be 20 comments about how downhill the headlines are going and that trolling in headlines is just approved for pageviews and blah blah blah.Either way, I got my precious and will cherish it forever.

On the actual topic, WTF Brewers? Greinke is sitting, but not being traded? Everyone, but Braun, Lucroy, and Gallardo should be on the block. I will continue watching until the bitter end, but this team will not win in the postseason as is.

I'm not gonna complain about a baseball thread, and especially not one about one of my favorite players, but I just don't get it. I can get greening a boring link if it has a good headline; I can get greening a good link despite a boring headline.

You realize teams lie about this stuff all the time.

Yes, but why even mention it today? Why not wait until the day before his start? It seems a heck of a lot more plausible then.

Meh. Could be. Just saying team do all sorts of strange stuff in the media. Maybe they're (fake) sending the message that a deal is almost done... so other teams interested start moving faster in offering better players or whatever.

But they're toying with my emotions, isn't that the important thing here?

Do you think the press would leave him alone if he had a three week stretch like he just had here?

Absolutely. Not as bad as New York though.

Still don't understand why players pay attention to the media. I sure as hell wouldn't if I were an MLB player.

I don't think it's so much "what they say about me in the papers/on TV" it's more like "how many people are in the room with me asking me questions at the same time".

OTOH he was quoted as saying something like "there are more people to ignore in New York or Boston than there are in Milwaukee but I would probably still ignore them" when he signed here. So who knows.
